STOCKHOLDERS TO MEET.
The Proposed Lease ofthe Naugatuck RaIlrOad-Ten Roads Now Run by tn c Consolidated

The Proposed Lease ofthe Naugatuck RaIlroad-Ten Roads Now Run by tn c Consolidated.
 A special meeting of the stockholders of the Naugatuek Railroad company will be held June 30 when the proposition of leasing the road for ninety nine years to the Consoli- dated road from April 1, 1887, will be sub mitted to the meeting for their action.
 The New York, New Haven and Hartford has now by lease the Stamford and New Canaan, Shore Line, Air Line, Connecticut Valley, Canal and Naugatuck roads, and the Naugatuck has the Watertown and Water bury and the Air Line has the Colchester road. The New York, Providence and Bos- ton (Stonington road), though still an inde- pendent line, has some directors in common with the Consolidated and many think will in time become part of it's system. Thus, out of twenty-two roads in the State the Consoli- dated has ten.
 The New York and New England has the Housatonic Cat least it's owners have) with the Danbury and Norwalk, the Connecticut Gen. tral, the Norwich and Worcester, the Rock ville and practically the South Manchester which is merely local line of two and one- quarter miles to join that road. The She paug, too is at present only a road to the Danbury and Norwalk and so a part of the New England system. Here are eight more roads.
 This leaves but four others: The New Lon don Northern, which is tide water line into Vermont and has been leased by the Vermont Central the Meriden and Cromwell, a local line from Meriden to the Connecticut river, which is to be extended to Waterbury, where it will join the New York and New England; the New Haven and Derby, which links the Naugatuck to New Haven; and the Hartford and Connecticut Western, which there is talk of joining to the Massachusetts Central and the Poughkeepsie bridge.

THE WRESTLING MATCH.
Matsada SOrakIchi and M u1dOon
 Lincoln Rink Last Night.

Matsada SorakIchi and MuldOon at
 Lincoln Rink Last Night.
 The wrestling match at Lincoln rink last night between Matsada Sorakichi, the "Po- lice Gazette" champion Japanese wrestler. and William Muldoon was attended by about four hundred people. William Dunn, of this city, was selected referee. George Palmer was second for Muldoon and Frank Quinn officiated in similar capacity for the Jap. Muldoon is one of the finest spec linens of physical development to be found any where and has the form of an Apollo. How ever, he has been out of training for several months and did not train at all for the match last night He weighs about 210 pounds and is several inches taller than the Jap and 50 pounds heavier. The latter came to this country three years ago and has since achieved a national prominence. He is twen- ty-six years old, feet Az inches tall, weighs 160 pounds, wears 1711 collar, and has a chest measurement of 43 inches arm muscles 1853.
 The first bout was Grseco- Roman style. and after fifteen minutes Muldoon secured a half Nelson and armhole lock and the shoulders of the squirming Jap were forced to the carpet.
 The next bout was catch h-as-c catch can and was the liveliest event of the evening. Null doom made move to catch Matsada for double Nelson, but slipped his hold and went upon his knees. The Jap held him down for 8 moment, then caught the doughty athlete from behind with body lock and lifted him high in the air, dropping him to the floor and securing the fall. Nine min utes.
 The third bout was Greco- Roman and won by Muldoon on 8 double Nelson lock after six minutes.
 Matsada won the fourth fall on half Nelson and leg hold in 10 1-2 minutes.
 The last bout was Japanese style and the Jap won after six minutes, thus winning three out of the five bouts.
 Patrick Sheedy, the enterprising manager of the John L. Sullivan combination, was among the spectators. He was not in the best of spirits, however, over the action of the board of aldermen in refus- ing to license his projected boxing exhibition Wednesday night. Mr. Sheedy stated that there would, however: be an exhibition by his combination tomorrow night. The box ing events will be absent, but he proposes to furnish good entertainment with wrestling, hitting the ball, posing, dancing, etc. A similar exhibition was given in Albany where license for the regular exhibition was re-

About Bands.

Considerable remark is made about town as to the poor encouragement New Haven gives the Second regiment band, while other cities foster and encourage their bands and endeavor to patronize them as much as they can in order to have good music. The Sec ond regiment band has attained fair repu- tation for furnishing good music and has inn proved and developed into fine band that is credit to the city, despite adverse circum- stances and discouragements; yet with all the bands of music that will be required on Decoration day no New Haven organization has engaged the Second regiment band and prominent organizations are going out of town to hire their bands.
